SV Ried have also won their second game of the season in the 2nd Football League. The team from Innviertel won 4-0 on Friday evening against SV Horn, who are still without points, and took over the lead in the table with maximum points and no goals conceded so far. 

Kapfenberger SV, who beat FAC 3-1, and SKU Amstetten, who bounced back from a disastrous season with a 1-0 win over SV Stripfing, are also on six points.

Rieder, who won 1-0 at Stripfing in the season opener, laid the foundation for the three points at home before the break. Saliou Sane (16') gave them the lead after preparatory work from Jonas Mayer, Fabian Wohlmuth (35') increased the lead after an assist from Martin Rasner. The Lower Austrians came out of the break much better and came close to scoring several times, but further goals were only scored at the other end in stoppage time. Nikki Havenaar (91') poked the ball over the line from close range after Sane's assist. Philipp Pomer (95') provided the final goal.

Joker strikes in stoppage time
After a 1-0 win at Admira, Kapfenberg also put FAC in their place. And they did so in a crazy match. Maximilian Kerschner, a "joker", scored in the 95th minute to make it 2:1. Benjamin Wallquist was then sent off for the Viennese side and Alexander Hofleitner (97th) made everything clear with the penalty that was awarded. For Amstetten, central defender Moritz Würdinger was the match-winner with his goal in the 36th minute. The club, which would have been relegated last season from a sporting point of view, had recently made a successful start with a 2:1 win in Voitsberg.

Austria Lustenau are still without a win or a goal. The relegated Bundesliga side recorded their second consecutive clean sheet in St. Pölten. It was the first point for the still goalless Lower Austrians. The visitors to Lafnitz were treated to a festival of goals. FC Liefering were comfortably 4:1 ahead at the break, but came away as narrow 5:4 away winners at the final whistle. Phillip Verhounig was the only "young bull" to score twice and secured the first success.
